Superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr. announced in December that students and staff would pivot back to mandatory masking from Jan. 3 through Jan. 13 as a post-winter break precautionary measure., and more around the region, to switch to virtual instruction. The mandatory masking move “is a proactive measure to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses in school, reduce absenteeism and prioritize in-person learning after the winter break,” spokesperson Christina Clark said.
Neither the Meredith nor the Nebinger principal have received pushback on the temporary masking policy, Clark said. District staff moved quickly to scrub the graffiti from the sidewalks surrounding both schools Wednesday. Meredith is located at Fifth and Fitzwater streets, and Nebinger, just a few blocks away, at Sixth and Carpenter.
